	BBC NEWS \| World \| Europe \| Who won World War II?
		Mr Overy says that the West has a view of the war as a global conflict, because of its fight against Japan, for example, whereas the Soviet view is of a "national crusade to repel the invader".
		The biggest loser in the war was Britain, who lost her empire, foreign assets and was still paying for the cost of the war (mostly to the USA) decades later.
		The critical point of the war was the Nazi failure to invade Russia early enough in 1941.

	The Men Who Won The War
		When they ask me how it was over there I find myself glossing over the fighting, the heat, the sandstorms, and the flies (these last could have taught the Iraqi army a thing or two about staying power).
		A lot of people are going to tell the story of how this war was fought; I would rather say something about the men who won the war.
		War came early for the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne when an otherwise quiet night in the Kuwaiti desert was shattered by thunderous close-quarters grenade blasts.

	The War won't end in Baghdad - Ummah.com
		But this is not just a war against Iraq, it is a war against terrorist organizations and against the regimes that foster, support, arm, train, indoctrinate and command the terrorist legions who are clamoring for our destruction.
		We know how to do it: broadcasting the truth and funding others who do the same, denouncing the oppression, defending the political prisoners by name, encouraging private American and international organizations to provide money, communications and guidance to the people on the ground.
		This war cannot be limited to national theaters; we face a regional challenge and must respond accordingly.

	Won the War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This April 7th, a veteran from Jewish Friendship Post 617, World War II E.T.O., which in military parlance refers to the European theater of operations, was invited: Jerry King.
		Jerry decided to enlist in the war effort when he was nineteen, because there were only women around, nobody to talk to -- man talk.
		That was in 1942, and before his hitch as a Private in the Army Air Corps was over in November of 1945, he traveled through Egypt, Libya, Tunis, Algiers, Italy, England and France, fought in ten battles including Anzio, Foggia and Naples, and went from Sicily into the boot of Italy and finally, Normandy.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on How I Won the War at Epinions.com
		How I Won the War is set in Europe and North Africa during World War II.
		Then there are scenes like the one where a man talks about how war has changed him, and how it gets easier to see dead humans when it used to upset him to see a dead animal.
		How I Won the War is a bizarre, boring film with little plot, and there is little to recommend it.

	Lincoln Won the War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The outbreak of war derailed the original version of his grand scheme, but even after the war began, Lincoln believed that if he could convince the legislatures of the loyal slave states to agree to compensated emancipation, he could end the rebellion, restore the Union, and begin the end of slavery.
		The fact that the Prize Cases, which essentially affirmed the legality of the Union's conduct of the war, were decided by a vote of only 5-4 in the midst of the war seems to confirm Lincoln's desire to keep emancipation out of the courts.
		McClellan apparently thought it was part of his duty to negotiate with the enemy on the terms for ending hostilities and to explain to that enemy the policies and objectives of his commander-in-chief without letting the latter know that he was doing so.

	What if the south had won the war?
		Still, if the South does indeed win the war, I think it throws a new dynamic into the mix, and it's hard to say what the effect would have been in the rest of the country.
		We must remember that, while there were multi-generational tensions at play prior to the War, it was the election of Abraham Lincoln that triggered southern secession.
		My views are if the South had won the war, eventually slavery would have ended any way.

	DVD Times - How I Won The War
		Charles Wood, who wrote How I Won The War, has been revisiting this basic material throughout the rest of his career and perhaps found the most effective balance between irony and tragedy in the 1988 BBC film Tumbledown.
		However, trying to apply these sentiments to the Second World War is a more problematic task; especially if, like Wood, you don’t have any constructive answers to the important question of how we were meant to stop the Nazi domination of Europe without going to war.
		By the end of How I Won The War, we feel numbed and exhausted but not, as we should be, shocked or moved.

	How the UN Won the War
		The historical records show how Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt created the UN to win the war both militarily and politically, and to create the foundations for a lasting peace.
		In the records of the war years, countless references demonstrate the UN's origin as a strategic engine of victory in the second world war.
		The United Nations was a real entity during the war, not a spin-doctored slogan offering a gullible public the promise of world peace after the conflict.

	SuperFrenchie » I won the war on Christmas! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I did not see the irony that SF was trying to portray in his thread…maybe it was the title “I won the war on Christmas!” that I found to be offensive.
		I would say, rather, and with sadness, that the appearance of the motto on coinage during the Civil War shows how quick we were to betray the principles set out in our founding documents, which in truth were always very difficult to adhere to, as difficult as the words of Jesus or the Buddha.
		In fact, how can a religion argue that its version of the fact is the true one while at the same time accepting that others might also be correct when they deny the exact same thing.

	How Hollywood Won The War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To avoid government interference, Hollywood went to war and produced an incredible amount of war propaganda in the form of shorts, documentaries and fictional tales, where the Axis Powers of the "Huns" were depicted as subhumans, who killed babies and raped nuns.
		Once the war ended, in 1918, the public had had its fill of propaganda and Hollywood shied away from films that depicted war of any kind.
		The best of the Vietnam War films, like World War I movies, came five to ten years after the conflict was over and were made by the generation that fought it or lived through it.

		How I Won The War - Rock band from Toronto - The magic of HOW I WON THE WAR began in a small flat in Toronto, Canada where friends Alex McKee (lead vocals, rhythm guitars) and Dylan White (lead guitar, vocals) would write the songs that would later be heard today.
		Little did he know (or probably even care) that across town, doing the rounds at NXNE and local clubs under the name Cicero, there was another singer/songwriter looking for a band.
		But when he got his hands on one of their now-infamous underground demos, it didnít take him long to track down the boys, arrange an audition, and move to Toronto.

		Russia fought a war in Chechnya from 1994 to 1996, only to return in 1999; it is still fighting there.
		The "end" of the Gulf War in 1991 was only the beginning of two futile uprisings and a series of minor bombings and major waves of airstrikes — in some ways it was just the prelude to the U.S. invasion last month.
		The Vietnam War "ended" in 1973 with a treaty that brought "peace with honor." Two years later, more Marines died as the North Vietnamese swept through the south, the U.S. embassy was evacuated and the communist victory was made complete.

		Tagline: If You Think Richard Lester's 'How I Won The War' Is Just Another War Film, Forget It...
		Although (unfairly) ravaged by critics at the time and so generally dismissed ever since, HOW I WON THE WAR is both a brilliant anti-war film and anti war film film (much more so than the usually heralded MAS*H).
		Filled with biting satire and brilliant performances from Michael Crawford, John Lennon, Roy Kinnear, Ronald Lacey, Michael Hordern and, well, the entire cast, HIWTW was perhaps a bit too odd for 1967 audiences who expected perhaps a more madcap adventure, but today it deserves not only a rethink - but a reissue on DVD.

	How Van Johnson Won the War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Doolittle (Tracy) makes it clear as he gives his orders that this mission will include the necessary but unpleasant task of killing civilians who work in the machine shops and arms manufacturing plants that they have targeted, and offers everyone involved the opportunity to back out if it's something they can't reconcile with their consciences.
		Overall: equal parts "rah-rah, we won the war" flag-waver stuff and "War is hell." Performances are all good, but there's no real new ground covered here, and it didn't make me think of the war in terms I hadn't already thought about.
		Truthfully, this movie might not belong in this category because it is less about the war itself and more about the mutiny and the trial, but it's a good look at the psychological effects of war and how different people measure up.

	How I Won The War Review (1967)
		At the end of World War II, by the Rhine, Lieutenant Ernest Goodbody (Michael Crawford) stages an abortive attempt to cross the river with his men, but ends up captured by the Germans.
		Director Richard Lester is not afraid to add slapstick - Crawford ends up stuck headfirst up to his middle in the sand - and Wood's lines include many wry observations and non sequiturs, which has the effect of seeming like many conversations on the same subject all mixed up together.
		How I Won The War believes that even in a just war, the soldiers are exploited and prey to the whims of their superiors, and if they don't end up dead, then they're certainly not enjoying many benefits, either, no matter that they win.

		The book's humor derives from the absurd situations (in one chapter, the British and Germans fight "The Battle of the Booze," attempting to loot high-quality wine from an Italian village) as well as the commander's inability to perceive his troops' contempt for him, not to mention his failure to perceive his own idiocy.
		But if you want to watch a war movie that has great actors and director and an interesting plot then this is one for you.
		Richard Lester's HOW I WON THE WAR has always been a controversial film simply because of all the publicity that Beatle John Lennon would be appearing in it.
